I'm the storm on the horizon, and he's my beacon in the darkness.
- Kai Tremblay
I wear the skin of a confident man.
My tongue is like lightning. My smile can melt hearts.
But no amount of tattoos can hide all the bruises. And no number of women will ever be enough to cover the abuse and neglect that led me here.
I'll always be tainted...
Then he lands on my doorstep in a flurry of freckles and long blond hair, with piercing green eyes that see right through me.
In the endless darkness, he's a lighthouse of hope.
Confused, he's drawn to me in ways he doesn't understand. So I push, and tease, growing more confident with each of his flustered looks until every touch and glance is a game of who will break first.
But I can't drag him under with me.
So I try to resist, denying us both.
But he insists; listening when I'm not speaking.
Asking when I have nothing more to say.
It's too late, now.
Infatuation has become obsession.
I need to have him.
To feed off his happiness.
To live in his light.
Something So Strong is a gritty, contemporary romance with frequent foul language and explicit mature scenes. It is intended for readers over the age of 18. Though it is not the darkest of stories, it can be emotionally heavy at times. Please check the trigger warnings before diving in.
